Re: fan out loud on ubuntu 12.10

I would just like to come with some piece of advice. I worried like hell today when I couldn't find a solution to my laptop overheating. It seems it goes by default in "high performance mode".

I read on webupd8 about this ppa https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/jupiter with a program called Jupiter. It works in the systray with a "flash" symbol and you can check the temperature of your laptop plus(and most importantly) choose between 3 modes: "Maximum performance"(no thanks, I don't want to burn my laptop today!), "Power on Demand" and "Power Saving"(yes plz plz plz!!! )

Re: fan out loud on ubuntu 12.10

I would install a sensor suit of some kind to tell you what your temps are. if the fan is on because tehy are high, fix that problem . if they are on cause they are dumb, fix that one, if they are loud cause tehy are failing, replace.
